Auto Windscreens has appointed Nigel Davies as its new sales and marketing director.

Davies joins the windscreen replacement company from Pirtek Europe, a hydraulic hoses, pipe fittings and couplings provider, where he held the role of chief executive.

In addition, Davies previously held the role of fleet sales director for fast-fit company Kwik Fit and brings 15 years’ sales and marketing experience to the job.

He joins Auto Windscreens shortly after the German company, Arques Industries AG, bought the company from finance company Aviva.

Davies has replaced Tony Johnston, who has since left the company.
